British more Valuable than Africans then?
Naturally, possessing a high level of education has high value in the market place - those with higher education are, in general, given higher waged jobs. There is demand for higher levels of education. Though also, there is value in experience. So one might consider that in general someone with a degree and 5 years work experience is more valuable to the market than someone who dropped out of high school and sat around watching Oprah for 15 years.
So if evolutionists believe, as you claim, that they are more valuable people - who or what do they think are they more valuable to?
Westerners typically get more education higher wages than Africans. So does this mean that they are more valuable than Africans?
If the value of a human being is based on their education and wage than yes that is correct. If when asking what value people have is determined by what use and consequence they may be to you or the economy this is good for some.
Good for those work in trafficking human beings for the sex industry. notable examples being Thailand. These sex slaves should serve their masters well because they earn more.
This means that rich economies can exploit poorer economies because they are of more value; they are better than the poor?
I'm pretty sure that you do not hold any of the scenario's that I have have given as good ones to reflect a humans value. But if you treat a person as a means to an end these real, common, examples and if you believe that a persons worth is based off their economic value good things to do. Hey its pushing the economy so whos to complain. The girls? Hey they don't have a high prospect of getting an education.
My point is that value that is based on your level of education promotes injustice - If you accept that justice is that people get what is their due and that it unjust for someone to get punished for something not of their causing.
People have value because they each are unique and have dignity.

Re: British more Valuable than Africans then?
He hit a hot button. The issue is if value is determined by ones usefulness to the economy, then their value as a person is based on what they can give to the economy - or rather they have no value as a person. BTW. Those girls are typically sold or kidnapped into the sex industry under the age of 10.
Yes, this isn't an appropiate forum to discuss equilty, justice, oppurtinty, fairness and values.
Now about superiority. I have noticed a trend where people who are surrounded by like minded people, tend to be more likely to be disrespectful towards others when dealing with point of views that they disagree with.
Everyone has jargon or terms that are specialized to what they do and often even to their circle of friends.
For instants in terms of a car a stroke is the length that the piston goes up and down. Its not a magical word; it has a meaning.
I remember when my first year at University people used big fancy words. I have to admit they did impress me at first. But I learnt quickly that if someone used a term that I didn't understand to ask them what it meant. I learnt that Big words didn't mean big brain.
The very nature of the world dictates that people who can achieve more tend to.
Gee its taken measurable self control not to get into it .
